Joseph's Coat
Intro: D
Jacob
AGF#mE
Joseph's mother, she was quite my favourite wife
AGF#mA
I never really loved another all my life
DABmD
And Joseph was my joy because
GDEmA
He reminded me of her
Narrator
AGF#mE
Through young Joseph, Jacob lived his youth again
AGF#mA
Loved him, praised him, gave him all he could, but then
DABmD
It made the rest feel second best
GDEmA
And even if they were -
Brothers
DA
Being told we're also-rans
DA
Does not makes us Joseph fans
Narrator
DGA
But where they had really missed the boat is
Brothers
DGA
We're great guys but no-one seems to notice
Narrator
DA
Joseph's charm and winning smile
DA
Failed to slay them in the aisle
DGA
And his father couldn't see the danger
DGA
He could not imagine any danger
D
He just saw in Joseph all his dreams come true
AGF#mE
Jacob wanted to show the world he loved his son
AGF#mA
To make it clear that Joseph was the special one
DABmD
So Jacob bought his son a coat
GDEmAA multi-coloured coat to wear
Jacob, Brothers and Female Ensemble
AGF#mE
Joseph's coat was elegant,The cut was fine
AGF#mE
The tasteful style was the, Ultimate in good design
DABmD
And this is why it caught the eye
GDEmA
A king would stop and stare
Narrator
DA
And when Joseph tried it on
DA
He knew his sheepskin days were gone
DGA
Such a dazzling coat of many colours
DGA
How he loved his coat of many coloures
DA
In a class above the rest
DA
It even went well with his vest
DGA
Such a stunning coat of many colours
DGA
How he loved his coat of many colours
D
It was red and yellow and green and brown and blue
*over tune +1 / Capo 1
AGF#mE
Joseph's brothers weren't, Too pleased with what they saw
Brothers
AGF#mA
We have never liked him, All that much before
DABmD
And now this coat, Has got our goat
GDEmA
We feel life is unfair
Narrator, Female Ensemble & Children

And when Joseph graced the scene
DA
His brothers turned a shade of green
DGA
His astounding clothing took the biscuit
